Chapter on the Divorce of a Woman Who Has Not Reached Menstruation, One Reached Menopausal Age, One with Irregular Menstruation, and One with Uncertain Menstruation

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَ اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "أَمْرَانِ أَيُّهُمَا سَبَقَ إِلَيْهَا بَانَتْ بِهِ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةُ اَلْمُسْتَرَابَةُ اَلَّتِي تَسْتَرِيبُ اَلْحَيْضَ إِنْ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ بِيضٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا دَمٌ بَانَتْ بِهَا وَ إِنْ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلاَثُ حِيَضٍ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اَلْحَيْضَتَيْنِ ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ بَانَتْ بِالْحَيْضِ".
Ibn Abi Umayr and Al-Bazanti both narrated from Jamil, from Zurara, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام who said: "There are two matters, whichever occurs first will determine the separation of a suspiciously divorced woman who is uncertain about her menstruation. If three full white months pass without any blood, she is separated by that. However, if three menstrual cycles occur, even if there are not three full months between them, she is separated by the menstruation."
